A Brief History of Wakefield Park

The Wakefield Park circuit was built by Paul Samuels and John Carter and was opened officially by

John Fahey, the then NSW Premier and member for the Goulburn district in November 1994.

It was built with club motor sport firmly in mind and with the control tower and paddock facilities and carports it made some of our existing circuits look a bit out dated. Track days and supersprints were the usual events with race days for cars, motor bikes and go karts also becoming popular at

the circuit.

At 2.2 kilometres, with an reasonable length straight leading to a section of uphill bends with the loop at the top of the hill and then a downhill run into what became known as the fish hook section and a negatively banked last turn onto the main straight the circuit offered quite a challenge to

achieve a quick lap.

In 2000 the circuit changed hands for the first time with Rob Hodgkinson and Paul Phillips taking over. Soon after the change over the circuit was re-profiled with changes to the fish hook area and the final turn onto the main straight. Both of these changes improved the flow of the circuit, the

fish hook area in particular allowing for a faster run onto the back straight.

Under the new ownership the Wakefield Park licensing and permit system was introduced. This gave clubs a cheaper alternative to CAMS for the running of events and members could also pur-chase a Wakefield licence with which they could compete in events that they may not normally be able to on a level 2 licence. Now the circuit uses the AASA insurance and permit system that which is now being used by a large proportion of motor sport promoters and clubs for events around the

country.

The Speed off the street days that allowed people to drive their own cars on the circuit under the Wakefield licence system, encouraging speed at the right venue and not on public roads were also

introduced and continue today.

From 2001 to 2008 the circuit held a round of the V8 development series, this for many years being the only stand alone round for those cars. The pit lane garages were added at this time, once again

improving the circuit’s facilities.

In January 2007 the circuit was bought by the Benalla Auto Club, the owners of the Winton circuit in country Victoria. At the end of 2008 a major re-surfacing of the circuit took place and this again has led to better lap times. 2010 has seen the introduction of a lighting system at all flag points that will warn drivers of incidents on the circuit and be operated from race control. With the com-plex now managed by Mathew Ronke and ongoing improvements happening the circuit is still a great

club sport venue.

With a great cafe and complete circuit viewing from the spectator

areas enjoy today’s racing.

The current lap record for the circuit is held by Ben Chrithon driving an F3 open wheeler and stands at 54.563 seconds, a fairly

quick time.

Wakefield Park, just another

great part of the Goulburn area.

What is Regularity ?What is Regularity ?What is Regularity ?What is Regularity ?

it is where the driver

nominates a lap time and

endeavours to maintain

that time over a number of

flying laps (usually 6) of a

racing circuit. Each tenth

of a second away from the

nominated time scores

penalty points. The driver

with the least number of

points wins, or the driver

with the most points i.e.

furthest from their nomi-

nated lap time comes last!

(You see, you get excited

and forget what you’re

doing).

Therefore, you don’t need

to buy an expensive

‘rocket’, the family

‘shopping trolley’ can be

just as competitive as the

latest sports car. A car

passing you on the track

is not perceived as beat-

ing you. This has the ef-

fect of competitors not

trying to block or ‘dice’

with each other, as in rac-

ing or sprinting, and gen-

erally much safer competi-

tion results. In fact, block-

ing and dicing is not toler-

ated and will attract a pen-

alty from the officials of

the event.

Think back to your child-

hood ... back to your home-

made billy-kart, a few pieces

of 4x2 which was powered by

gravity and a mate or two -

throw in some wacky steer-

ing, some Victa lawn mower

wheels and Fred Flintstone

brakes. You imagined you

were Fangio, Stewart, Senna

as you rolled down the drive-

way. It was heaps of fun eh?

Now take the concept to the

other extreme ... you’ve got a

professionally manufactured

Chrome-Moly chassis, sticky

racing slicks, 6-speed true-

sequential shift racing bike

engine, four-wheel disc

brakes, and wings. Now you

have a recipe for the ultimate

karting experience!

Today’s Superkarts owe their

heritage to decades of dedi-

cated research by manufac-

turers and teams all over the

world, pushing chassis, aero,

tyre and engine design to the

limits in a similar way to how

Formula One works ... with-

out the mega-dollar budget.

Because of the awesome

speeds these machines are

capable of, they are only

raced on large road-race cir-

cuits – places like Eastern

Creek, Phillip Island, Mallala,

Silverstone, Laguna Seca,

Hockenheim ... Yes, the same

tracks all the top race drivers

around the world race at.

So picture this. You’re sitting

in your grid position, amongst

50 other karts, and the Red

Light is ON. Bringing the ta-

cho up to 13,000rpm and

your heart is beating just as

fast as the adrenaline surges

through your arteries, and

then the lights go out ... it’s

time to launch this little

rocket! You’ve fired off the

line like a slingshot, gotten to

about 100kph in 3 seconds,

and now you give the gear

stick a nudge into 2nd gear.

The tacho screams its way

back to 13,000 and you just

keep nudging that gearstick,

3 ... 4 ... 5 ... 6 ... brake hard.

NO ... HARDER!! You’ve

brought this monster down

from 230kph to just 87kph in

the blink of an eye (but a lot

heartbeats) and you about to

guide this missile through a

hard 2.5G corner. With your

neck muscles struggling to

keep your helmet attached to

your body, you’re back on the

throttle as you hurtle out of

the corner in 2nd gear, the

speed and acceleration build-

ing just like a few seconds ago

as you grab 3rd, 4th ...

Repeat over and over and

over again. Some corners are

“slow”, you take them at

about 90kph, other corners

are “fast” and you can attack

them flat out, but the sensa-

tion is always the same. Woo

Hoo!

Sound more like the sort of

thing you wanted to do as a

kid with that billycart? If not,

stop reading now. But if you

can imagine yourself doing

this for the sheer heck of it,

because you can, because it’s

the cheapest entry into circuit

racing, because there are no

more excuses.

2012 Race Calender2012 Race Calender2012 Race Calender2012 Race Calender

s interest continues to build in the inaugu-ral All American Muscle Day at Wakefield Park on Saturday December 10th, another intending entrant is Melbourne landscaper Stuart Thompson.

Thompson will bring his magnificent Ford Mustang to the Muscle Day, a car that he purchased some eight years ago, and is not only a show car, but one that has enormous performance as well.

“I only got the car after making a compro-mise with my wife,” he said. “I wanted to have three children and the wife only wanted two, so we went her way and I got to buy a Stang,” he laughed.

The car was run down, dented on the rear quarter panels, and was not in its original condition, so Thompson decided instead of restoring his new charge he would keep modifying it.

“It had already been converted to right-hand drive, and I wanted to be able to drive it as a family cruiser but to also be able to drive it hard on the track.

“I stripped the car down to metal and my

brother-in-law painted it Winter White with ghost flames on the front guard and headlight sur-rounds and rear valance plate painted black. I also added a 429 Boss scoop on the bonnet which makes it look fast even when it isn’t moving,” he said.

Once he was happy with the body, he removed the auto-matic transmission and re-placed it with a Tremak 5 speed.

The original Windsor engine had been replaced by a Cleverland unit, so the old Cleveland was removed and replaced with another 351 Cleveland with trick flow heads and some minor work which gave out 458HP at the wheels with a massive amount of torque, and a desert cooler aluminum radiator was then installed to keep it running cool.

It has 18” wheels, and a rack and pinion fitted for a better steering control along with some extra RRS steering compo-nents for better handling. Along with ad-

justable front and rear sway bars the

Stang handles surprisingly well, some-thing that pleases Thompson no end.

“It sticks to the track nicely, but there is still a problem in that I go through rear tyres regularly. Getting the car to go fast down the ¼ mile is great but getting it to go fast around corners is even better”

“I love to take the car on Sunday cruises with the family but also love having fun with it by competing in tarmac rallies and other sort of on track events,” he said.

Enthusiasts of the American muscle cars nation wide are expected to ascend on Goulburn’s Wakefield Park on Saturday December 10 for the inaugural All Ameri-can Muscle Day.

The Stars n Stripes will be prominent and the typical American razzmatazz evident as organisers conduct several activities during the day.

Many activities are already planned with a Show n Shine, Drags, Racing, Hill-climbs, Hot Laps, Cruzing the track and much more.

Among those participating will be Wake-field Park’s resident American muscle car enthusiast Brad McDonald, the proprietor of Total Exposure Photography and proud owner of a left hand drive 1979 C3 Cor-vette.

Once you get in the know, you will learn the Corvertte’s are referred to as a Vette, and speaking to Brad about his pride and joy, you discover just how passionate he is about the car.

The Vette’s have an amazing fan base in the states, the ‘79 C3 being the most popular, as Chevrolet produced 53,807 Corvettes, the largest annual production run in the history of the marque.

What helped was a movie that hit the big screens in ’78 entitled Corvette Summer. It had Star Wars hero Mark Hamill as star and of course featured a custom C3 Stingray.

Corvette Summer may not have been the main reason for the record sales of the ’79 model, but it certainly left a lasting impression on so many, both children and adults, including Brad McDonald who admits to be one of those children from that era fascinated by the film.

“One of my later memories as a child was seeing Corvette Summer and witnessing Mark Hamill’s love and devotion for his Corvette,” he said. “Although it may seem a bit corny these days, back then it was OK, especially to a young, impressionable child. If that was why Brad went on to build one of the most sensational supercharged, nitrous-blown C3s ever, so more power to movie makers if that was the case.

Brad is only the second owner of the

genuine L82 Vette which started life as a

customer-ordered Corvette, red in colour with an Oyster leather interior and the optional L82 engine.

Wanting a bullet proof engine led Brad to Gulgong engine builder Denis Mealing, and he set to building what is a magnifi-cent power plant. He replaced the stock long block with a four-bolt-main 350, bored it so an extent that it had 357 cubic inches, fitted a Callies forged crank, Eagle forged rods and TRW forged pistons and then fitted Edelbrock Performer polished aluminum heads.

On top of all this of course is a Weiand blower intake, a Holley 930-cfm “double pumper” carb and a polished Weiand 177 supercharger, the end result around three times the power it had when it originally left the factory.

It then had to direct all that energy to the wheels and subsequently onto the tar-mac, so a high-stall (2,800 rpm) torque converter, a shift-kitted Pro Comp Turbo-350 automatic, a balanced driveshaft, and a Dana 44 rear were added.

“I was looking for a for a Pro Street pro-ject, something that was not common and would stand out in the crowd,” McDonald continues. “These days, there are a few Vettes getting around in Australia, but they’re mainly stock weekend drivers. Others are built by owners who just like being seen. Others may have grunt, but just don’t stand out.”

If that was what he aimed at, it is quite

obvious that is exactly when he got, for its certainly stands out, turning heads when-ever he drives the red beauty, and that grunt is there right enough.

That is pretty much summed up by the happy snapper, who said his idea was to have a Vette on steroids, but still be a streetable machine.

Come All American Muscle Day on De-cember 10, Brad said he will be participat-ing in all events from Show ‘N’ Shine to driving events, weather permitting. ”Although the Corvette was built for straight line work it should be OK as long as we keep off the boost on the bends.

“On the day we will be doing a Power Skid to encourage the boys to put the there peddle down and not there mouth down the straight on the 1/8 mile,” McDonald said. .

“A Power Skid is a demonstration of sheer horsepower to see who can go the longest and most tyre shredding smoke. A Power Skid is not a burnout , no foot on the brake, just pedal to the floor its just Real Horsepower.”

QUICK MX5QUICK MX5QUICK MX5QUICK MX5 Chris Quick juggles his MX5 between the Super TT cate-gory and MX5 Racing at MRA

Events

Chris Quick is an Insurance Underwriter who lives on the Central Coast and like so many others has a pas-sion for fast cars and the opportunity to drive his car competitively at speed in a safe and legal environ-

ment.

That is why Chris com-petes in the Motor Racing Australia (MRA) race meet-ings, and will be driving in the fourth and final round of the 2011 championship at Goulburns Wakefield

Park on October 30.

The 29 year old owned a Nissan R33 GTS25t for five years, and has been a member of Skylines Austra-lia since 2006 and the Southern Sporting Car Club since 2008, and did the occasional track day before deciding he wanted to take

his hobby to the next level.

“Looking for cheaper op-tions that can be a lot of fun and fairly competitive I looked outside the square, and after driving Dads 1.6L MX5 on a few twisty roads I decided that the MX5 will be my race car,” said

Quick.

“After searching car fo-rums for months I found a 1994 MX5 NA8 1.8L that had been 95% finished as a CAMS 2F log booked and street registered car in

QLD.

While the MX5 was being built for circuit racing, he started competing in super-sprints in class 2B in the

same year, and with eight rounds spread over Oran Park (GP and South), East-ern Creek and Wakefield it was a full on season, and making it better he won his 2B class, which doesn’t do much for the addiction for

which there is no cure.

He also participated in other club days and driver-training days held with John Boston, so all up throughout 2009 he man-aged to complete 15 mo-

torsport events!

“With the news that Oran Park was officially closing I signed up to do the last MRA meeting at the circuit. – it was my first door to door race meet and as you can imagine I was very,

very nervous,” he said.

He qualified 6th in division 2 out of 30 cars, and had several good battles with other cars, learning a lot from the event and most importantly came home in one piece, but with a big-

ger addiction.

“2010 was a quiet year as I got married and bought a house. I still managed to head to Eastern Creek twice and also to head north to Morgan Park in QLD for the national super-sprint sadly missing out on

Wakefield that year.”

This year Quick started racing with the MRA series at Wakefield Park in the MX5 class. The first round was run in January, fol-lowed by others in April and June, and he’s now got

the final round this month.

“The MRA series is fantas-tic. It’s a great stepping

stone for people wanting to step up from supersprints in an affordable yet fun series. Being held at Wake-field is great – it is a week-end away from work and home and I have met a great bunch of people to

race with.

“After doing MX5 races I decided I would enter the SuperTT class which has a wide range of vehicles from Escorts to EVO’s to Skylines to Kingswoods and

everything in between.

“No matter if you are in the top 5 or bottom 10 – there are always cars to have some battles with while having respect for

each other.

“What I love about Wake-field Park is that you don’t need real big horsepower to get quick times which suits me and my MX5 quite well. With 75rwkw I need to rely on corner speed and handling while getting my lines right. At a recent interclub supersprint I managed a PB of 1.13.8. A lot of people seem to struggle with the ‘fish hook’ however turn 2 is my

arch nemesis!

As everyone is well aware, motorsport is not cheap and he has done everything out of his own pocket, and works on the car when he can, as he said “through blood sweat and tears (and

beers!).

Mazda MX5’s are a real surprise packet, particu-larly considering their

75rwkw.

Showing how he has im-proved in the little 1800cc racer, the Quick MX5’s lap times have been dropping considerably since he

started in 2009.

At Wakefield Park his best lap when he first started in the MX5, his fastest lap was 1m:15:1seconds, then in August this year he had reduced it to 1:m13:8seconds, while at Eastern Creek he has im-proved by as mammoth 3.6

seconds.

“I know I’ll never be a front runner and that does not worry me. I love being at the track especially Wakefield – it feels like a home away from home and a sense of belonging. There is nothing better than 20+ cars with their revs up.”
